Challenges We Face in Cannabis Education

Coming up with fresh content is time-consuming. Getting in front of new audiences on the internet can feel as daunting as climbing Mount Everest. Many of us are spinning our wheels or waiting for the day one of the significant platforms shuts down our account. We know it’s a gamble.

Entrepreneurs have limited-time to make maximum impact

 

 
Does this resonate with you?

It’s EVEN HARDER to reach audiences when the topic is about Cannabis

 
What roadblocks have you run into?

We have been told we need to build mailing lists to avoid some of these pitfalls but, it is easier said than done

How much time, effort, and energy (and maybe money) is it costing you?

It’s NO WONDER;

we are getting tired and frustrated!

 

Very few of us got into the Cannabis Education field thinking we would need to be adept at navigating these murky and ever-changing waters of social media and marketing.

As colleagues trying to accomplish similar goals, we have all had some of these issues:
  • Searching for our own original ideas and inspiration for content that educates our clients and followers
  • Figuring out what an e-mail service is, if we should pay for it and which one to use
  • Working hard to bring education to the masses to find our post was only liked and commented on by a handful of people
  • Worrying about staying engaged with your audience when there is only one of you and so much to be done to run your business

With so much potential for shutdown, frustration, and overwhelm… it’s no wonder that many Cannabis Advocates avoid tackling these issues

 

Maybe you don’t have to do this alone? What if we pool our knowledge and resources to tackle this beast?

What if we figured out how to take this flower by the thorns and make a beautiful bouquet of collaboration, education, and marketing superpower?

Imagine if you can reduce some of your daily headaches trying to capture e-mails, creating content, and composing copy that may not even get read?

What if you could create content with the support of your colleagues and pair it up with THEIR content and THEIR mailing lists to expand your reach and message exponentially?

Imagine EXPANDING your reach to a WARM AUDIENCE with LESS EFFORT!

The team at the Effective Cannabis Newsletter has some ideas on how to do this, and we want to collaborate with YOU!

Work with us to find a way to:

  •  Advocate for Cannabis as medicine to a larger audience 
  • Leverage the strengths of our community of colleagues
  • Establish a deeper rapport with the public and build our reputations as Cannabis experts
  • Grow our businesses in ways that feel more authentic and organic in the process 

Your business building can get easier, if you join our collaborative membership. Collectively, let's use our association to grow our advocacy and business growth efforts rather than staying bogged down in frustration or overwhelm.

If we don’t have to do all this alone, how far and how fast can we grow together?

We think we are onto something here and want to collaborate with you!

Our Promise to ECN Advocates

We believe you will be PROUD of your branded landing page and the quality of content the Effective Cannabis Newsletter generates. However, if, after the first newsletter, you don't feel very proud of the end product and excited about the possibilities of gaining new reach to Cannabis-friendly consumers, we will give you your money back.

Send us an e-mail to [email protected], and we will issue a refund for all but $60 in administrative fees.

 

 

The Urgency of Now

 

We know that people are suffering and struggling to find relief. We see how the pandemic exacerbated anxiety, depression, sleep issues, addiction, and more.

There has never been a more critical time for Cannabis advocates to ban together and find ways to get powerful, helpful, and encouraging information to those that seek it.

People are seeking information, and Dr. Google isn't always their friend.

Don’t you wish you had access to a resource like this when you started learning about the science and efficacy behind Cannabis?

We know more breakthroughs are coming. We know science will continue to reveal the benefits of this plant. So let's work together to grow a following and get this information into the hands of people that really need it. We can help change hearts, minds, and even laws with the Effective Cannabis Newsletter.

Let’s face it. Time is a limited and PRECIOUS commodity. Time moves so slowly when you are chronically ill and in pain. It can make a person desperate to find answers. Let’s help them find accurate and helpful resources.

Your time is PRECIOUS too. It takes time to reach people and generate good content. You may have an excellent post, but there is just not enough organic reach for it to be widely seen. We can all work together to help save you time in reaching those that time is moving so slowly for. Let's use our skills to help them find their way to happier and healthier lives. We believe this goal is within reach if we collaborate.

Are you in?

Sincerely,
